So basically I am modifying a gear which fires the cloneDagger projectile. I added a line where it despawns at a certain velocity, however I want it to have to be travelling at this velocity for 3 seconds before it despawns, rather than doing it as soon as it reaches that velocity.
However, these daggers follow the player constantly in order to return back to the player, so using the "wait" function interrupts this process and they stop following the player since it pauses the whole script.
function returnToCharacter(cloneDagger)
if cloneDagger and myTorso then
local distance = (cloneDagger.Position - myTorso.Position).magnitude
local lookAt = (myTorso.Position - cloneDagger.Position).unit
while distance > 4.0 and cloneDagger do
cloneDagger.Velocity = lookAt * distance
if cloneDagger.Velocity.Magnitude < 18 and cloneDagger.Velocity.Magnitude > 12 then
for fade = 0, 1, 0.1 do
cloneDagger.Transparency = cloneDagger.Transparency + 0.1
wait(0.1)
end
cloneDagger:Remove()
cloneDagger = nil
end
if cloneDagger then
lookAt = (myTorso.Position - cloneDagger.Position).unit
distance = (myTorso.Position - cloneDagger.Position).magnitude
end

Thank you, that is helpful. However this will still always remove it 3 seconds after it has reached the despawn velocity, regardless of whether or not it exited the despawn velocity. I want it so it has to be at that velocity for 3 seconds until it's removed at all
